This a classic view of Lunenburg Harbour.

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995 because it’s considered the best surviving example of a planned British colonial settlement in North America, retaining its original grid layout and architectural character.

Its distinctive waterfront with colourful buildings has appeared on many photographs and one of them was sued for a $100 bill. The Bluenose schooner, which Christiane and I sailed on during a Canadian Bar Convention in Halifax many years ago, has also grace the Canadian dimes.

Christiane and I have enjoyed a number of longer stays of a week or more in this town until the home we enjoyed staying in so often was sold to someone who wanted the home for herself and did not want to share with others.  On this photo you can see the home we stayed in a number of times. It is on the far right now painted red. When we stayed it was pale yellow. They like colour in Lunenburg. Just like me.

This photo is taken of trees on the golf course across the harbour from where I took photographs of the harbour.  Much to my surprise, the golf club welcomed photographers and provided a special place just for us. Imagine that–welcoming golfers.
